Day 5:
(July 6, 2010)
It was a gorgeous day. Mt. St. Helens was visible from the deck of the house. What a view!
Aunt Renee came over for a little while this morning and we had an enjoyable visit with her before she needed to head off to accomplish her day's tasks.
After she left we watched the last two episodes of “Horacio Hornblower,” well tried to anyway. The sound for the last two was very difficult to hear (they are on a VHS tape and either the machine needs a good cleaning or the tape needs replacing). We left the last few minutes of the final episode unwatched because it was time to leave and head into downtown Portland again this time to go to...
Buying tickets for this show is what sparked the idea for our whole trip!
Across the street from the theater was a fountain with signs that clearly stated no wading or swimming.
Those in the fountain must not be able to read.
The show was amazing! The way the animals are done and the scenery....so fascinating. An extremely creative team working on Disney's stage productions!
Day 5:
(July 6, 2010)
Our last day. :( The morning was filled with packing things and more visiting. Uncle Harold took us to lunch at Taco Bell. At Amanda's suggestion we tasted Baja Blast (or whatever it is) Mountain Dew in Sid's honor (his pre-mission favorite). Off to the airport to get Amanda onto her plane then we drove home.
Another very clear day. Mt. Hood was visible for the first part of our drive.
Both trips were successful-we all arrived safely.
It was a great trip and we didn't want it to end. Vacationland is much better than realityland any day. Oh well, I suppose all good things must come to an end eventually and that was the case with this trip. Back to home and work responsibilities for all of us...yuck!
